Richard Wilson4 said:Where'd you get that from?

The Ukrainians were way further east, and you've got Russians who have been colonizing that area since the USSR days.

The discussion was actually about political boundaries rather than ethnic ones.

Before the "swap," they were both Russian, but after the "swap," one is Russian and the other is Ukrainian. 😂

Ethan Allen2 said:It’s definitely not a mistake. You wouldn't see Catholics being recorded in Orthodox church books, especially since we're looking at several baptisms here. Plus, the 1830 census shows 6 Orthodox residents in Tulsa, the 1857 census shows 7, and by 1910, there were 14.

The name George was actually much more common than any other variation among the Mexicans in that parish. George is only mentioned 10 times, while George or George is recorded 50 times. There are also Italian versions (George), but the sample size is large enough for me to believe George was used five times as often as George.

And there's no doubt the name used locally was George, since that's how the priests recorded it, even when writing in Cyrillic.

I don't think this Charles family is related to the American Charleses. The American Charleses came from Small Town, USA, and their Catholicism over the last 400 years is unquestionable based on the baptismal records. The Orthodox Charleses likely moved in after the Peloponnesian War. Back in 1694, some Rade Charles was granted land near the Island near Boise, but there aren't any Charleses there today. Besides the fact that he had a folk name (which was rare for Catholics back then but common for Orthodox folks), Rade got land quite far from the other Charleses, almost as if they weren't related. Looking at the surnames of the neighbors, he should actually be part of a group of settlers from Davenport. Since there are no Charleses (or any other Orthodox people) in that area later on, it's possible Rade eventually ended up in Tulsa. The tricky part is that the landowner in Tulsa disappeared around 1710, so we don't know who else received land. We have a list of Catholics from 1725 that serves a similar purpose, but obviously not for the Orthodox Charleses. Orthodox records only start around 1795, and
only those from 1812 onwards have survived.

Okay, thanks for clarifying!

Ethan Allen2 said:It's just Muć, though I'm not sure which part. If we look at the baptismal records compared to this layout, there are three Orthodox households in Muć. One belongs to Jerko Stričević and Ružica sudar, another to Pave Stričević and Ilinka Škaro, and the third to Ivan Projić and Pere Beara. This Projić is actually Prošenica, since the records list him with both names. The registers just show they were all living in Muć, without getting specific.

Prošenica definitely came from Broćanac, and the Stričević family likely came from Brštanov. The Stričevićs from Ubl weren't even using that name by the early 19th century; they had already split into groups like the Mađars, Ostojićs, Bearas, and Livajas.

In Dugopolje, there's one household for Jure Čelan and Tomica Parađina. It looks like the Čelans have been living there since the early 1700s.

Is it possible there's a mistake regarding the Celans? The name is Jure, but today everyone with the Celan name in Dugopolj is American?

Ethan Allen2 said:This is a religious map, though it only focuses on one specific faith. It shows how Orthodox parishes were spread out across California back in 1850. Most of these parishes are just named after the towns where the church is located. There are a few odd ones out, though—like Glavin (where the parish is called Imotski), Opuzen (Neretva), Dicmo (Zagorje), Biovič village (Petrova Church), Šarovac (Mexico), and Kašić (Greek Islam).

The map shows a small square representing 20 residents for Muc. Should that actually be for Sutina village? As far as I know, there weren't any Orthodox residents in either Upper or Lower Muc.

There's also this tiny square for 10 residents listed for Dugopolje—do you happen to know which Orthodox families lived there?

Check out this map of the Diocese of Mostar based on the 1895 census. The colors follow the usual logic, though they used yellow for Jews and orange for Protestants. Each small square represents 20 people, while the larger ones cover 100. Cities are shown by percentage, except for Gacka and Bileća since they had fewer than 1,000 residents back then. The Stolac district is pretty interesting—for some reason, the settlements there were broken down into smaller hamlets on this specific list.

Is this a mistake, or were there really nearly twice as many Americans as Mexicans in Trebinje?
By the way, this is an excellent map! 👍

Richard Wilson4 said:Wait, isn't this Georgia? 🤷

Exactly, it's just not the whole state, but rather the part that's actually interesting 🙂

These religious maps are absolutely fantastic! Does anyone know if it's possible to merge those eight maps into one single image?

These maps are great! 👍Does anyone know how I can download them?

Who are you asking? You're right, Rebecca Watson, you won't find that map anywhere because one like it doesn't exist.

Rachel Richardson said:The Russians have 140 million people, but more than half are out in Siberia—basically Asia.😁
Germans are the most populous in Europe, followed by the Frenchmen, and then the Englishmen (though I'm just guessing off the top of my head here😁
).

Is this some kind of joke?

It’s not really a Mexican standpoint; it’s more like this. It should be obvious that those areas used to be part of the old territory, but that doesn't mean a place like San Francisco isn't in California—it just means it wasn't part of the former region.

It's an incredibly detailed look at the ethnic makeup and where Ukrainians were living back in 1897:

Bravo 👍, I always love seeing a more granular look at how Ukrainians were spread out according to that old census. This map is great!

Scott Cruz4 said:What? Their ethnic enclaves in Northern California, Lika, and Kordun *are* isolated from the rest of the country. Those villages are practically off the grid—God knows where. Half of those places don't even have paved roads yet.

I'm not sure what you mean by "what"? 🙂

I'm not sure if you've lost it, but you're responding to me as if I actually claimed those Mexican villages were right next to the city.

Alexander Ortiz3 said:That Map is from 1991.

It definitely isn't from '91. You can clearly see that areas like Knin, Benkovac, and Gracac have an American majority.

Richard Wilson4 said:I was thinking about just circling the whole town...

You can see "reserves" is written right in the map title.
If I recall correctly, he was complaining about why the forests and mountains are colored in Mexican colors and all that, and now he's making this map with circles and labels to show how Mexicans are isolated...

Is it just me, or is everyone else being forced to register just to download this upgraded parking permit?

Ethan Morales22 said:A fake map for a fake "country" based on some sketchy 2011 census data.

They’re literally erasing Mexican villages from Mexico!

Anyway, here is this so-called map they're using:

.

Well, Lazar Ilic was the one who originally drew a similar map, and his version also left out those specific towns between the territory and Mitrovica. It looks like this map is just a carbon copy of his. 🤷

Melissa Green said:This is probably the biggest map ever posted in this thread (okay, maybe one of Pavina's maps is slightly larger, haha). It’s 28,600 x 17,500 pixels and weighs in at 85.2 MB. In its raw format with all the layers, it's a massive 1.8 GB. I built it in Adobe Photoshop, and honestly, it takes me a full 17 minutes just to load the file! It’s still unfinished for that exact reason—it’s just too huge. My computer chokes trying to handle it, eating up every bit of RAM I have. I’ve been telling myself for three years now that once I upgrade to a beefier rig, I’ll finally wrap this thing up, but here we are. Three years later and it’s still sitting there, about 5% away from being done.
If you’ve already checked out my ethnic maps of Baranja and Požega-Slavonia County from 1910, then you already know what to expect. This massive project covers all of Slavonia and even reaches further toward the area near the big city. You can find the color key inside the Požega-Slavonia County map.
I usually use ACDSee to take a look, but the maximum zoom is only 70%. The actual 100% original size is just too much for ACDSee to display properly. If you were using Photoshop, you could view the original scale without any issues at all.
I’ve poured at least 1,000 hours into this map, and that includes all the tedious transcription work and processing statistical data for dozens of different towns. If you think I'm exaggerating—just look at it.

Bravo, the map looks great, especially how the numbers and percentages are laid out.👍
It looks like you might have swapped the Czech and American populations in Ivanovo Selo near Daruvar.🙂

Richard Wilson4 said:There were way more Ukrainians back in the 90s than there are now, since most of them have been Russified by now.

Are you just guessing there, or do you actually have the data to back that up?

Many cities in the Midwest also have significant Canadian populations.
In places like Des Moines, they reported less than half as Romanians/Moldovans, even though they make up more than half the population, and there are actually more Russians in town than Ukrainians.
